THE THREAD STYLE SERIES Tread with Fushu

Ever since my college days in UP-Cebu, I have worn the easiest (and cheapest) of slip-ons. Since laced shoes make my outfits look a bit “sporty & heavy”, them slip-ons walk with me easily & lightly, as if I’m wearing nothing at all.

I thought nothing could come easier to walk in. Then comes FUSHU. I got a hold on my first-ever pair last December when my friend, bag decorator, Kieth Bitor, brought me to the Christmas bazaar at I.T. Park and gifted me a pair as a Christmas present. I’ve heard of expensive slip-ons and espadrilles from Blenn before, but this was just reachable! And how their nude flat soles weakened me made me an official fan. Effortless is ze wurd! Yes, it’s casual alright but the patterns and designs are a bonus!

Last July 14, Formo & Bailey’s launched THE THREAD STYLE SERIES* by “walking easy” with FUSHU. Local personalities (Alexis Yap, Mikey Sanchez, Vanessa “V” Amman, to name a few) and new wondrously refulgent beauties walked current pairs and some new ones. Attendees were delighted with Bailey’s Caramel and Mint concoctions and buyers were treated to a 10% off on pre-orders.

Jandrick "Jumbo" Climaco’s style contribution to footwear has been a buzz AND now a wear for Cebuanos for the past half-year. We, Cebuanos are COMFORT-loving people. Ok, not just love but we LIVE it. Flip-flops, basic tees and jeans, easy to pull-on sweaters, and this? Totally a no-thinker to be an EVERYDAY staple.

FUSHU has no signs of slowing down. With almost a year under its belt, it has added a women’s line (finally answering to the demand-wall posts on their Facebook fan page) and more desirable designs: zebra-skin patterns, bright pastel retro floral prints, chic verticals, and interestingly, criss-cross lines eidetic of Narciso Rodriguez’s Spring-Summer 2009 collection (pictured below).

*THE THREAD STYLE SERIES is a monthly celebration of art & fashion presented in Formo (Banilad Town Center) with tasty new cocktail flavors from Bailey’s. The August Thread Series will feature Very Mary by Mary Ty.

About Me

Hi! This is Yves Camingue. Clothing designer from Cebu City.
I am currently based in Manila designing for STOKEDINC. In my free time, I'm also accepting various garment orders for my own namesake line.
I was a finalist for PROJECT RUNWAY PHILIPPINES Season 3 last 2012, being eliminated 5th after the Kidswear Challenge.
I'm letting you have an exclusive access of what's it like to be IN the local fashion industry; living and sometimes breaking the rules of it, breathing fashion everyday and dealing with disrespectful novices and respecting seniors. Outfit posts are testaments that every moment in life is an opportunity for fashion. Also included here are photo journals outside my job area: parties & trips, which are chockablock with true friends and experiences that make life a refulgent heaven and truclent hell.
I love the urban sights, marketplaces, flea markets and London pop/rock music, dancehall & reggaeton, as well as New York alternative. These are incorporated in my editorials, creations and more fashion-related endeavors.
